Realistically you've got about 50 or so keys and you are using all of them all the time, so you're not really forgetting where anything is. Many also customize where symbols, media keys, etc., are - so they are positioned where it

We use it at work and honestly I'd rather have Google Docs. Very limited formatting (why are there only 3 levels of headings?), very slow interface (why does it take what feels like 30s to load a folder with 25 entries in it?) and the
